Using the PCBridge Software
Appendix D
D-2
Edit Key Definitions
Use k) Edit Key Definitions to edit the function-key definition file,
PCB.FNC. Select this option to invoke the chosen editor for the function
key file.
Important: [F1] and [Alt-F2] through [Alt-F9] are already defined
for PCBridge operations. Do not modify them.
You can define a string to send to the OS-9 system when any one of the
following function keys is pressed:
[F2] through [F12]
[Shift-F1] through [Shift-F12]
[Alt-F1] through [Alt-F12] (except [Alt-F2] through
[Alt-F9] )
[Ctrl-F1] through [Ctrl-F12]
Strings may be up to 65 characters long.
Five special characters are defined for use with the input key facility:
Use this special
character:
For this purpose:
Vertical bar (|) Represent a carriage return
Tilde (~) Causes a oneĆsecond delay
Accent grave
character (`)
Causes the PCBridge software to wait for the OSĆ9 system to send the next
character before sendingany more of the function key string
Circumflex (^) Marks the followingcharacter as a control character
At sign (@) Marks the followingcharacter(s) as a PCBridge command
If the character followingthe @ is a letter, the corresponding[Alt] letter
PCBridge command is executed; if the character following the @ is NOT a
letter, that character is considered a delimiter and all characters in the string
up to the next occurrence of the delimiter are placed in the PCBridge
software's keyboard buffer
For example, the following key definition sends a [Ctrl-G] to the
keyboard buffer whenever you press an [Alt-F1] key:
A1=^G
In this example, when [Ctrl-F1] is pressed, the OS-9 system waits to see
a $ prompt before executing a dir command.
C1=‘$@/DIR^M/
